A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 116 Traveling Together

When Tang Qian came back in the evening, Mu Ziqi told him about this matter. Tang Qian was naturally very willing for his wife to have more contact with Yang Lijun and others.

"Okay, don't worry too much at home. Try to be friendly with Shopkeeper Yang and Miss Huang, but don't be too deliberate."

Tang Qian whispered, "They can't be offended."

"clear."

Mu Ziqi was a little surprised, but she had received a lot of training over the years and was still pretty good at interpersonal relationships.

At noon on the second day, the driver sent Wan Wenfang and Tang Lei to the door of Huang's bakery and then went back.

The bakery was already open for business, and some maids and servants were selecting freshly-baked bread to take home for their masters to make breakfast and snacks.

Soon, Old Wang arrived in a horse-drawn carriage with Yang Lijun and Huang Mulin sitting in it.

Almost at the same time, a carriage arrived at the door of Huang's bakery. It was Mu Ziqi.

Wan Wenfang told Yang Lijun about Mu Ziqi somewhat embarrassedly, and introduced the two of them to each other.

"Why don't you take a ride with us so that we can take care of you more conveniently."

Yang Lijun suggested.

"Will this be inconvenient?"

Mu Ziqi was also a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, they are all female relatives, and there is enough space."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Mu Ziqi had a generous personality and quickly accepted the arrangement. He turned around and told the driver to go back and tell Tang Qian so that he wouldn't worry.

The driver took the order and went back.

Mu Ziqi made a lot of purchases at the bakery, and then they boarded a horse-drawn carriage and headed for Bofeng County.

Little Tang Lei had not traveled far for a long time except for the last time from Changling Mansion to Linhai Town. At this moment, he was excitedly looking around, asking questions and thinking about all kinds of things.

The carriage was very lively.

Gradually, Mu Ziqi became more familiar with Yang Lijun and Huang Mulin, and from conversations and interactions, he also learned that the mother and daughter had similar temperaments.

Like to be at ease, know when to act and be sincere.

As long as you let them feel your kindness, they will never make things difficult for you.

Although he was what Tang Qian called a "big shot", he was much easier to get along with and more comfortable than anyone she had met before.

Yang Lijun was also secretly observing Mu Ziqi, and after confirming that she was someone she could socialize with, she did not stop her from contacting Huang Mulin.

Towards evening, the carriage entered Bofeng County.

Tang Qian bought a house here, so Mu Ziqi took Wan Wenfang and Tang Lei to live in his own house. After Yang Lijun told them the street address of her house, she and Huang Mulin returned to the house on Enke Street.

The next day, the broker from last time came to Yang Lijun's house early and knocked on the door.

Old Wang brought the person in.

Yang Lijun and Huang Mulin had just finished breakfast.

"lady."

"What's going on with the seller?"

Yang Lijun asked.

"Madam, the seller's surname is Lu, and he is a dealer in antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It is said that he met a jeweler from the east a few years ago, and he has a way to get high-grade diamonds from Baoguo, and the profit is considerable."

"Boss Lu didn't believe it at first, but later the businessman did come back a few times and brought him some good goods. He made a lot of money by reselling them, so he started to do the same."

"There were no problems at first, but later on, they said they had a large batch of top-notch merchandise that required a large investment. Boss Lu couldn't resist the temptation and mortgaged his shop on Qingfeng Street to borrow a lot of money from the jeweler to buy it."

"This time, things went wrong. The jeweler took the money and disappeared. Boss Lu used all his connections but couldn't find him."

"As the mortgage repayment date was getting closer, Boss Lu sold all the goods in the store at a low price, as well as the things in his home that could be pawned, but... there were probably still quite a few missing."

"The pawnshop saw that he was in a tight spot and couldn't afford the money, so they wanted to lower the price. Boss Lu didn't want to, but he really couldn't afford it. Those people he had been friends with in the past were unwilling to lend too much. A hundred or so taels wouldn't be of much use, and he still owed a lot of favors."

"So he plans to sell the shop to pay off his debts."

"How much is the shop?"

Huang Mulin asked.

"Five thousand taels."

expensive.

The shops on the main street of the county town generally cost between two thousand five hundred and three thousand taels. When she bought the shop on Beizheng Street, she paid Mr. Jia 30% more. If sold at the market price, it would be around two thousand or two thousand. They paid this price because they were in urgent need.

This shop now costs five thousand taels, which is almost double the price.

“Have the prices on Qingfeng Street always been so high?”

Yang Lijun asked.

"The price on Qingfeng Main Street is higher, while the prices on the side streets are better. Normally, the selling price is about 4,500 taels. If you are not in a hurry to sell, we will slowly negotiate with the buyer. If you are in a hurry to sell, we may lower the price a bit."

The broker replied, "No one has sold a shop on Qingfeng Street for several years. Those who are willing to sell a shop are those whose families are in urgent need of money and have no choice but to sell it. The highest price in the past ten years was 4,600 taels."

"Boss Lu's shop is right across from the main entrance of Qingfeng College. It is one of the best shops."

"You also know that the students of Qingfeng College all have relatively good family backgrounds and are willing to spend money. As long as you are not greedy and do business honestly in Qingfeng Street, you will not lose money."

"So the prices of shops in Bofeng County are much higher than those in other counties, thanks to the existence of Qingfeng College."

"I understand." Yang Lijun looked at Huang Mulin: "Do you want it?"

"want."

Since the dentist said so, the price probably won't be much different.

"Let's go then."

A group of people went to the shop in a carriage.

Soon they arrived at the shop, and when they got off the car, they saw a lot of people gathered there, and there seemed to be sounds of arguing.

Yang Lijun frowned and picked up Huang Mulin. Old Wang took the lead, followed by the agent, and they quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

"Don't go too far!" A strong voice said, "It's only three days before the due date. I will definitely pay it back!"

"This is four thousand taels. Who can lend you so much money?" Another voice sounded, with a hint of gloating: "And your selling price is not cheap! You need money urgently but you want such a high price. This is a scam!"

Several more booing voices were heard.

It seems that this shop has indeed caught the eyes of many people.

"Make way, please make way!" Seeing this, the broker shouted, "Boss Lu! Boss Lu! Are you there? I've brought the buyer of the shop here!"

After the broker's shout, the shop became quiet and the people outside the door moved aside to allow Yang Lijun and others to enter the shop.

All eyes were on them.

"Boss Lu."

The broker looked at the other group of people and said, "It's from Shopkeeper Zhong."

The owner of Yongning Pawn Shop.

No wonder.
